When Gwen Madiba steps out, she doesn’t just wear fashion—she carries a whole continent with her. The Editor-in-Chief of Ruling Stone Africa made waves at New York Fashion Week in a breathtaking Ankara corset dress that was bold, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
But beyond the stunning silhouette and head-turning street style, there’s a bigger picture: Gwen is on a mission to make the world see African fashion for what it truly is—luxury, creativity, and culture at its finest.

By rocking Ankara on one of the world’s biggest style stages, she reminded everyone that African designers are not just part of the conversation, they are the conversation. And honestly? That’s the kind of representation we live for.
